You can with an air to water heat pump like the Daikin AC
Altherma, at an installation here in New England the Altherma used an average of
45KW per day which at current electric rates works out to $6.15 per day. And the side benefit is that you will reduce your
CO2 emissions by more than 50% over a standard fossil fuel boiler. In the
winter an air to water heat pump works by taking thermal energy from the outside
and transferring to the inside of the home via radiators, fan coil units or
radiant floor heating. Because the
Altherma employs an inverter driven condenser unit it can extract heat from the
outside even at subzero temperatures. And
with a Coefficent of Performance as high as 4.54 which means for every 1 KW of
energy used 4.54 KW of heating energy is produced or for every $1.00 you spend
you get an additional $3.54 free. And the above $6.15 per day includes the lights and other electric items in your home.
